It’s hard to keep up with all the recent changes to labor and employment law, especially given the rapid pace at which the Trump administration has been moving on initiatives impacting the workplace and beyond. For the latest changes and a compliance action plan, here’s a quick review of some critical developments we tracked in March and a checklist of the essential items you should consider addressing in April and beyond.

Track changes under the new administration. President Trump’s second term passed the 50-day mark in March – and the new administration has moved at such a high speed that we thought a recap was needed.
